According to Football Insider, Marcel Sabitzer, a Manchester United loanee, is trying to sign a permanent contract at Old Trafford this summer.

What is the most recent Sabitzer transfer news from Man United?

Bayern Munich loaned Sabitzer to the team in January for the remainder of the campaign; there was no provision for a future option to make the move permanent.

The Austrian has now made 13 appearances for Erik ten Hag, but was forced to withdraw from Sunday’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest due to an injury sustained during the warm-up.

The Red Devils were apparently informed that they would have to pay almost £25 million to make Sabitzer’s loan permanent, a sum that would have to be reduced for a trade to have any chance of happening. However, a new development has now come to light.

In the past 24 hours, Football Insider writer Pete O’Rourke provided an update on Sabitzer, indicating that the player is attempting to secure a full-time transfer to Manchester.

Ten Hag has been delighted with the 29-year-old, the author continues, and according to a reliable source, a permanent transfer “has a good chance of happening” at this point. Since the player is not part of the long-term plans of new Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel, there is a willingness on the part of all sides to reach an agreement on a permanent transfer.

Is it sensible to go permanently to Manchester United?

In his final Europa League match for United against Sevilla, Sabitzer shone, scoring twice in the 2-2 tie. Diogo Dalot calls the midfielder, who earns £211,000 a week, a “machine” for his contributions at Old Trafford.

Sabitzer might be hired permanently to improve Ten Hag’s options going forward as the Red Devils are looking to boost their midfield this summer.

Since Scott McTominay is apparently planning to leave Old Trafford this summer, Sabitzer, a loanee who can play a range of midfield positions, may be seen as a permanent replacement for the Scot.

Sabitzer has actually done better than Christian Eriksen, Fred, and McTominay this season, according to WhoScored, demonstrating how he may be a strong squad option moving ahead with United on track to once again play in four different competitions. It appears as though this would be one to keep an eye on because the player is interested, Ten Hag has been impressed, and all sides believe a deal can be done.
